Twitter is a one of a kind social networking phenomenon. It is a service which revolves around micro blogging. Users interact through simple posts of only 140 characters or less. It doesn't seem like much but Twitter has blown up to the top of the social networking stardom. Everyone from plain Jane, to A-List celebs, to entrepreneurs is tweeting. They use it to keep in touch with family and friends, to earn money, to market their business or organization, and best of all its working.

Today you can connect a lot of your different accounts for auto posting on Twitter. And while that is great and valuable it could very well be pointless if no one sees it. So to make all your hard work worth it you should have a lot of Twitter followers. You can do so by manually browsing around Twitter and following people in hopes they will be courteous enough to follow you back. You can post interesting info in hopes that it will somehow draw in followers or you can get a little help from various apps out there.
Twitter doesn't allow automated adding of friends, or following rather. However, there is a way to follow a bunch of people at once with ease and still be in compliance to Twitter rules.

Assuming you have a Twitter account already go to Tweepi.

Now on the lower right hand side you will see a link saying Try out 'Geeky Follow' >>  click it and you will be lead to a page that asks for a screen name of a Twitterer that shares the same interests as you, or that you are interested in.

So you can enter @Twitter, for instance, and hit enter.
You will be asked to allow Tweepi access to your existing Twitter account.

Once that is done you will have a list of the searched users followers.
While the "Select All" button is disabled in order to follow Twitter rules there is a trick you can do to select all users shown on the page with two clicks. Hold SHIFT while you click on the first user on the list, scroll down to the end of the list and hold SHIFT while you click on the last user.
The list displays 20 users per page. You can change this to 40 if you scroll down and tweet about the Tweepi, don't worry they have a preset tweet waiting for you at the bottom of the page!
This is way easier than completely manually going around and following users, and its still quality follows.
